General Cultivation Q&A

hey peoples, i am interested in staring a aeroponic grow, the plan was to have 4x 55lt storage type boxes with 4x netted pots in each, total 16xplants, and having 4x misters in each pot entering through the tops of lids, i would like to run a pump in a main reservoir like a recirc system. with areturn line from each pot, what size pump do you think would be suitable to run my 16x misters.. will misters like the ones they sell at bunnings be suitable, and do you think there would be any flaws in this system cheers wayno1

Hi All, This is my first grow from seeds. Plants shown are 5 weeks from germination. I am running an Autopot setup using GH 3 part nutrient system. Plants are grown in rockwool core surrounded by a mixture of vermiculite/perlite. Plants have been growing under a 400W HPS light up to now and will be switching them to an LED array (11x14W lights as pictured, total of ~ 150W total). Plants will be switched to flowering as soon as clones have taken. Should be another 10 days. We have 2 plants that we think are males as they are taller, have longer internode distance and are not as bushy. The 2 taller plants are 21" and the 2 shorter ones are 16". Comments and suggestions …

Okay about to crack them beans but only have five so survival is important. Has anyone used either vitamin B1 (Thiamine) or IBA (Indole Butyric Acid) for germination. The method I will be using is 1. let tap filtered water sit 24hrs 2. add hydrogen peroxide 3. add (one of the above) or just trace elements? 4. soak rockwool cubes 6. ph water, adjust, let sit some more 7. direct sow Brand recommendation would be helpful. say something from bunnings Cheers

Cheap simple and very effective , a bunnings single burner Gasmate camp heater $49 , 1 9K gas bottle $35 , Fan controller $30. Put the Gas burner at the air inlet end of the room , make sure nothing can catch on fire and dont point it directly at the plants if its close to them , use the controller to slow down the exhaust fan so that with the lights on and the gas burning the room temperature is 28-32 celcius . Light the burner when the lights come on turn it off when the lights are off . The 9kg size gas will last 9 to 10 days then just swap the bottle which works out $2 a day . I can only do this in winter as summer is just two hot ,,, but Im telling you , it …
